TRANSMISSION FLUID LIFE (Automatic Transmission)
How to Reset the Change Transmission Fluid Message and the Transmission Fluid Indicator. After the transmission fluid has been changed, the Change Trans Fluid message and the transmission fluid life indicator must be reset. To reset the message and indicator, use one of the following procedures:

BASE AUDIO SYSTEM
Press the CLR (Clear) button located to the right of the DIC display to acknowledge the "CHANGE TRANS FLUID" message. This will clear the message from the display and reset it.

To reset the transmission fluid life indicator, use the following steps:
1. Press the up or down arrow on the INFO button located to the right of the DIC display to access the DIC menu.
2. Once the XXX% TRANS FLUID LIFE menu item is highlighted, press and hold the CLR button. The percentage will return to 100, and the transmission fluid life indicator will be reset.
3. Repeat the steps if the percentage does not return to 100.

NAVIGATION SYSTEM
If you select this item, the percentage of remaining transmission fluid life is displayed. If you see "99% Trans Fluid Life" on the display, that means that 99% of the current transmission fluid life remains.

When the transmission fluid life is depleted, the Change Transmission Fluid message will appear on the display. You should change the transmission fluid as soon as possible within 200 miles (322 km). Be sure to keep a written record of the mileage and date of the fluid change so you will have it for future reference.

When you reset the "Change Transmission Fluid" message by clearing it from the display, you still must reset the transmission fluid life monitor separately.

To reset the transmission fluid life indicator, use the following steps:
1. Turn the system on by pressing the PWR/VOL knob once. The PWR/VOL knob is located to the lower left of the DIC display.
2. Press the "INFO" button located to the left of the DIC display to access the Vehicle Info (Information) menu.
3. Turn the TUNE/SEL knob located to the lower right of the DIC display until Trans Fluid Life is highlighted. Press the knob once to select it.
4. Once XXX% Trans Fluid Life is displayed, press the multi-function button next to the Reset prompt in the upper right corner of the display. The percentage will return to 100, and the transmission fluid life indicator will be reset.
5. Repeat the steps if the percentage does not return to 100.
